We're excited to be the first to debut this new teaser trailer for an upcoming sci-fi short called Telescope, featuring some rad visuals. Directed by Collin Davis & Matt Litwiller, the short is a visually stunning story set 170 years in the future about a cosmic archaeologist who journeys through space and time to capture evidence of a forgotten Earth.
